10 most heartbreaking Texas football transfer portal departures of all time

Nobody has been immune to heartbreak since the inception of the college football transfer portal in 2018, and the Texas Longhorns are no exception.

Over the last six years, the Horns have lost 101 players to the portal, largely due to the revolving door of head coaches the program has seen.

Out of the players who have left Austin, which ten athletes were the most devastating losses for Texas fans?

While neither Bru McCoy nor Cam Rising took a snap for the Longhorns, they had been highly recruited coming out of high school and were massive commits for Texas.

Expected to have great success in college, which they later proved, both McCoy and Rising were major losses for the Horns when they entered the transfer portal.

Rising went to Utah and racked up 5,572 passing yards for 46 touchdowns. McCoy transferred to USC and played just one season with the Trojans before transferring to Tennessee. He is currently listed as active on the Vols’ 2024 roster.
